Article

Author: Sarwareddy, Kartik Kumar ; Singh, Anula Divyash ; Manda, Venkata Sasidhar ; Sesuraj, Babiola Annes ; Thakur, Basant Kumar ; Patnam, Sreekanth ; Ponamgi, spd

AIMThis study aims to explore a sustainable and scalable approach using tomato fruit-derived sEVs (TsEVs) to deliver calcitriol for enhanced anticancer effects, addressing challenges of low yield and high costs associated with mammalian cell-derived sEVs.METHODSTsEVs were isolated by centrifugation and ultrafiltration and characterized using DLS, TEM, and biochemical assays. Calcitriol was loaded into TsEVs via loading methods, with efficiency measured by spectrophotometry and HPLC. HCT116 and HT29 colon cancer cells were treated with TsEV-calcitriol and assessed for viability, colony formation, migration, ROS levels, and apoptosis gene expression.RESULTSIsolated TsEVs ranged from 30-200 nm with a protein-to-lipid ratio of ∼1. Calcitriol encapsulation efficiencies were 15.4% (passive), 34.8% (freeze-thaw), and 47.3% (sonication). TsEV-calcitriol reduced HCT116 cell viability with IC50 values of 4.05 µg/ml (24 h) and 2.07 µg/ml (48 h). Clonogenic assays showed reduced colony formation and migration. Elevated ROS levels and increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio were observed in treated HCT116 and HT29 colon cancer cells.CONCLUSIONThese findings highlight TsEVs as a promising alternative drug delivery platform to mammalian cell-derived sEV for enhancing the therapeutic efficiency of calcitriol and other anticancer agents.

A short review: the biological activity of vitamin D and its decomposition products

Review

Author: Shimomura, Hirofumi ; Hosoda, Kouich ; Amgalanbaatar, Avarzed ; Hayashi, Shunji ; Wanibuchi, Kiyofumi ; Shoji, Mitsuru

A vitamin D₃ metabolite 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ exhibits numerous hormonal actions to various tissues and cells such as induction of calcium ion absorption, bone metabolism, activation of innate immune system. Because hormonal actions of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ are too complex, it is difficult to better understand overall views of intermolecular networks on the cell activation by 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃. In this review we concisely outline the most fundamental molecular mechanisms for the cell activation by 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ based on the previous and recent studies. In addition, we expound biological activity of 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ and 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ that differs from hormonal actions. In addition, recent studies by our group revealed that vitamin D decomposition products confer extremely selective bactericidal action to Helicobacter pylori, a pathogen causative gastritis, peptic ulcers and gastric cancers in human. Vitamin D decomposition products induce the bacteriolysis as targeting of characteristic glycerophospholipids composed of the bacterial biomembranes. In the future we will expect to be capable of developing novel antibacterial agents targeting a characteristic glycerophospholipid of the pathogenic bacteria using vitamin D decomposition products as fundamental structures.

Vitamin D3 suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and enhances steroid sensitivity in a neutrophilic steroid hyporesponsive asthma mouse model

Article

Author: Khalil, Bariaa ; Selvakumar, Balachandar ; Mdkhana, Bushra ; Zakri, Adel ; Hachim, Ibrahim ; Halwani, Rabih ; Sharif-Askari, Narjes Saheb ; Hamid, Qutayba ; Hundt, Jennifer

OBJECTIVESevere steroid hyporesponsive asthma is a heterogeneous group of chronic inflammatory diseases characterized by irreversible airflow limitation, hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and remodelling of the airways. Severe asthmatics account for more than 60% of asthma-related healthcare cost worldwide given they are hyporesponsive to corticosteroids and due to the absence of targeted treatment specifically for the T helper-17 (Th-17) high endotype. Hence, there is a clear unmet need to investigate other treatment options to control patients' symptoms. The role of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway has been highlighted in the literature to contribute to disease pathogenesis and severity. Interestingly, vitamin D3 is an important regulator of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.METHODSUsing house dust mite (HDM) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we induced a neutrophilic steroid hyporesponsive asthma mouse model to investigate the effect of vitamin D3 on downregulating the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and enhancing steroid sensitivity.RESULTSWe showed that calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3, could downregulate the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. This was associated with a significant reduction in airway hyperresponsiveness, IL-17 release, neutrophil infiltration, and mucus secretion. Further, calcitriol enhanced steroid sensitivity by inhibiting the expression of GR-β. Mechanistically, calcitriol targeted the NLRP3 inflammasome to ubiquitination.CONCLUSIONSOur research highlights the potential use of calcitriol as a low cost and accessible supplement to ameliorate airway inflammation during severe steroid hyporesponsive asthma.

In individuals with XLH, the body doesn't hold on to enough phosphorus, which is an essential mineral for bone health. This is due to the production of excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), causing the body to release too much phosphorus through the urine. When phosphorus levels are too low (hypophosphatemia), it can cause the softening and weakening of growing bones in children (rickets) and of mature bones in adults (osteomalacia). In children, XLH typically appears as bowed legs or knock knees. Over time, bone weakening can also lead to bone abnormalities in the legs, delayed growth, and short stature. In adults, XLH may cause osteomalacia, fractures and pseudo-fractures, and hypophosphatemia. About CRYSVITA® (burosumab-twza) Injection CRYSVITA is a recombinant fully human monoclonal IgG1 antibody, discovered by Kyowa Kirin, which binds to and inhibits the biological activity of FGF23, the underlying cause of hypophosphatemia in XLH. By blocking FGF23, CRYSVITA helps to restore phosphorus reabsorption in the kidneys and increase the production of active vitamin D, which enhances intestinal absorption of phosphate and calcium. U.S. CRYSVITA Indication CRYSVITA is a fibroblast growth factor (FGF23) blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) in adult and pediatric patients 6 months of age and older. Important Safety Information CONTRAINDICATIONS CRYSVITA is contraindicated: In concomitant use with oral phosphate and/or active vitamin D analogs (e.g., calcitriol, paricalcitol, doxercalciferol, calcifediol) due to the risk of hyperphosphatemia. When serum phosphorus is within or above the normal range for age. In patients with severe renal impairment or end stage renal disease because these conditions are associated with abnormal mineral metabolism. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., rash, urticaria) have been reported in patients with CRYSVITA. Discontinue CRYSVITA if serious hypersensitivity reactions occur and initiate appropriate medical treatment. Hyperphosphatemia and Risk of Nephrocalcinosis Increases in serum phosphorus to above the upper limit of normal may be associated with an increased risk of nephrocalcinosis. For patients already taking CRYSVITA, dose interruption and/or dose reduction may be required based on a patient's serum phosphorus levels. Injection Site Reactions Administration of CRYSVITA may result in local injection site reactions. Discontinue CRYSVITA if severe injection site reactions occur and administer appropriate medical treatment. ADVERSE REACTIONS Pediatric Patients Adverse reactions reported in 10% or more of CRYSVITA-treated pediatric XLH patients across three studies are: pyrexia (55%, 44%, and 62%), injection site reaction (52%, 67%, and 23%), cough (52%), vomiting (41%, 48%, and 46%), pain in extremity (38%, 46%, and 23%), headache (34% and 73%), tooth abscess (34%, 15%, and 23%), dental caries (31%), diarrhea (24%), vitamin D decreased (24%, 37%, and 15%), toothache (23% and 15%), constipation (17%), myalgia (17%), rash (14% and 27%), dizziness (15%), and nausea (10%). Postmarketing experience reported in CRYSVITA-treated pediatric XLH patients: blood phosphorus increased.

Entera Bio to Present Phase 1 Data from First-in-Class, PTH(1-34) Peptide Tablets (EB612) for the Treatment of Hypoparathyroidism at ENDO 2024

JERUSALEM, May 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entera Bio Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENTX), (“Entera” or the “Company”) a leader in the development of orally delivered peptides and small therapeutic proteins, today announced that it has been selected to present data for its investigational program EB612 at the Endocrine Society ENDO 2024 Annual Meeting which will be held on June 1-4, 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts. The EB612 program is being developed by Entera to provide the first oral PTH(1-34) tablet peptide replacement therapy for patients suffering from hypoparathyroidism. Hypoparathyroidism is characterized by deficient PTH production, hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. Standard treatments include several daily administrations of high dose oral calcium supplements and calcitriol (or analogs), which are often associated with ectopic calcification, including nephrocalcinosis and renal failure. Late stage investigational PTH replacement treatments include TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) by Ascendis Pharma A/S and eneboparatide (AZP-3601) by Amolyt Pharma (pending acquisition by AstraZeneca). Both these modalities require patients to administer injections every day. The data from this Phase 1 study include PK and early PD results from the application of a new generation of Entera’s N-Tab™ technology platform with an unmodified PTH(1-34) peptide. One of the objectives of this study was to test the new platform’s ability to reduce the frequency of daily administration of EB612. Entera previously published positive Phase 2a study results in 19 hypoparathyroid patients using a QID regimen (Fraser, JBMR 2021). Abstract Title: Phase 1 Study Results Of EB612, A First-in-Class Oral PTH(1-34) Analog For The Treatment Of Hypoparathyroidism Presentation Number: SAT-758 Presentation Type: Late-Breaking Poster Presentations: Day 1 Session: Poster Session P106 Session Date/Time: Saturday, June 1, 2024, 12:15 pm – 1:45 pm The abstract can be found on the ENDO 2024 website: https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/11016/presentation/9825 About Entera Bio Entera is a clinical stage company focused on developing oral peptide or protein replacement therapies for significant unmet medical needs where an oral tablet form holds the potential to transform the standard of care. The Company leverages on a disruptive and proprietary technology platform (N-Tab™) and its pipeline includes five differentiated, first-in-class oral peptide programs, expected to enter the clinic (Phase 1 to Phase 3) by 2025. The Company’s most advanced product candidate, EB613 (oral PTH(1-34)), is being developed as the first oral, osteoanabolic (bone building) once-daily tablet treatment for post-menopausal women with low BMD and high-risk osteoporosis, with no prior fracture. A placebo controlled, dose ranging Phase 2 study of EB613 tablets (n= 161) met primary (PD/bone turnover biomarker) and secondary endpoints (BMD). Entera is preparing to initiate a Phase 3 registrational study for EB613 pursuant to the FDA’s qualification of a quantitative BMD endpoint which is expected to occur by January 2025. The EB612 program is being developed as the first oral PTH(1-34) tablet peptide replacement therapy for hypoparathyroidism. Entera is also developing the first oral oxyntomodulin, a dual targeted GLP1/glucagon peptide, in tablet form for the treatment of obesity; and first oral GLP-2 peptide tablet as an injection-free alternative for patients suffering from rare malabsorption conditions such as short bowel syndrome in collaboration with OPKO Health.

Orforglipron (OWL833, LY3502970) is a small molecule GLP-1R agonist developed by Chugai Pharmaceuticals. In 2018, Eli Lilly and Company signed a collaboration agreement with Chugai, paying a $50 million upfront payment to acquire the rights for the clinical development of Orforglipron for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Between August and September of 2023, Eli Lilly published four clinical research trial data articles sequentially in "The Lancet," "The New England Journal of Medicine," and "Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism," presenting the results of phase 1a, 1b, and 2 trials of Orforglipron for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. UCB in JPM 2024UCB Inc. is a global biopharmaceutical enterprise dedicated to developing innovative drugs for the treatment of serious diseases in the fields of immunology and neuroscience. The company's goal is to become the 'patient-preferred' leader in the biopharmaceutical sector by creating patient value for specific communities through unique outcomes and the ultimate experience, and to improve their lives as much as possible. In 2023, the company's blockbuster product CIMZIA achieved its sales peak target of 2 billion euros ahead of schedule, and with a differentiated advantage, its sales growth outperformed the anti-TNF market. It is anticipated that there will be no competition from biosimilars until before 2027. Additionally, five products, including EVENITY®, BIMZELX®, FINTEPLA®, RYSTIGGO®, and ZILBRYSQ®, may possess sales growth momentum for up to ten years. UCB has announced several R&D pipeline candidates that are expected to reach significant clinical data milestones in 2024. Fenfluramine Hydrochloride is a multi-target small molecule drug developed by Zogenix. Its mechanism of action functions as an agonist for 5-HT1D receptors, 5-HT2A receptors, and 5-HT2C receptors, among others. The medication was approved for marketing in 2020 for the treatment of Dravet syndrome and epilepsy. In 2022, UCB announced the acquisition of Zogenix at an approximate total cost of 1.9 billion US dollars. Ascendis in JPM 2024Ascendis Pharma is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative and differentiated therapies for rare diseases, using its proprietary TransCon (Transient Conjugation) technology platform to design and manufacture drugs. This platform creates compounds that are temporarily bound (or "transiently conjugated"), allowing for precise control over the drug's release behavior in the body. The TransCon technology enables the activation of the drug after it enters the body, with the release of the active therapeutic ingredient at predetermined times and locations. This technology offers new treatment options for various diseases, especially for patients with rare diseases who require precise drug exposure to achieve optimal therapeutic effects and minimize the risk of side effects. The company's leading endocrinology rare disease products, including TransCon hGH and TransCon PTH, have been approved in major markets. Hypoparathyroidism is an endocrine disorder caused by insufficient or absent secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which can affect multiple organs. Under normal physiological conditions, PTH and its downstream hormone calcitriol are the main regulators of calcium and phosphate, acting on bones, kidneys, and intestines. Hypoparathyroidism can lead to hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. TransCon PTH is an investigational prodrug of PTH hormone originally developed by Ascendis Pharma that is administered via a once-daily injection to provide sustained release of active PTH. It is currently under development for the treatment of adult hypoparathyroidism. This medication consists of the parent drug PTH(1-34) transiently linked to a branched methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) carrier using a proprietary linker. The drug is administered through a once-daily subcutaneous injection, ensuring stable PTH levels within a normal physiological range over 24 hours. By activating downstream PTH1R receptors, it modulates function. BridgeBio in JPM 2024BridgeBio is a next-generation biotechnology company specializing in the treatment of genetic diseases, dedicated to providing innovative therapies to over 450 million patients worldwide suffering from genetic disorders. The company's operations encompass every stage from early research and development to commercialization, with a deep focus on drug development for rare disease areas that have market potential exceeding one billion US dollars. One of BridgeBio's key products currently in development is acoramidis, intended for the treatment of ATTR-CM (transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy). BridgeBio’s R&D engine is specifically designed for genetic medicines, featuring efficiency, low cost, and rapid decision-making capabilities that allow the advancement of new drug clinical trial applications (IND) at a cost of less than 10 million US dollars, and achieving IND filing in under three years. The company has significant experience in clinical trials, operating in more than 20 trials globally, across 25 countries and over 500 sites, with a particular focus on collaborations with key pediatric hospitals. According to the Phase 3 clinical trial data released by BridgeBio, patients treated with acoramidis demonstrated an unprecedented improvement in absolute survival rates, meaning that patients lived longer and had a significant reduction in hospitalization needs due to the disease, approaching the level seen in healthy individuals of the same age. Additionally, acoramidis showed early divergence from the control group in cardiovascular-related mortality and heart failure composite outcomes within just three months, which is the earliest known time point for observing treatment effects to date. The company's clinical candidate drug Encaleret is indicated for the treatment of Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1). This is a rare genetic disorder caused by gain-of-function mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) gene, leading to dysregulated secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and resulting in hypocalcemia. Encaleret sulfate is a product that acts as an antagonist targeting the CaSR receptor. As a potential "first-in-class" disease-modifying therapeutic agent, it is designed to restore physiological mineral homeostasis, assisting ADH1 patients in achieving normal levels of serum calcium and urinary calcium.
